Yes, You Remember, That First Poem.

 

 

With quivered quill and nervous ink
I approached the screen hoping for sympathy.
How daunting its grin, an ' I dare you ' haunted and taunted me.
Was I really going to do his ?
A thousand hungry eyes, watched, from every corner of the world.
Jelly fingers slipped on a bucking keyboard,
words huddled together, blinking in the new found light,
scared.

The deed was done.
Oh foolish man, bear the scorn and fear the wrath.

New notes for Black Narcissus :

I quite enjoyed your poem

This contest openly prasies the minuscule victories that brighten a day.

My very first day and very first poem on AP. I'll confess I was apprehensive, expecting it to be ripped to pieces. Instead somebody left a nice comment

    aw! hahah. that's a very small but very big victory at the same time, i remember my first poem on AP, wondering if random strangers would actually like it. i didn't get many comments for awhile, until i started entering contests.

    ohsnap, i'm rambling. anyway, i liked the idea of this poem, the conversational narration and the creativity of it.

    thanks for entering!
